Sebastian, This gave me trouble in the past as well, causing me to use the non-free drivers from Brothers site.
A better solution is to install "system-config-printer" through synaptic and set up the printer through cups, of course you need to install cups as well, if not I believe system-config-printer will pull it in as a dependency. You may need to reboot after this so the system will load and recognize everything. Plug in your printer, run the above program and it should automatically locate and recommend a free driver for you. I have a Brother HL2270DW and the "Generic PCL Laser Printer" works perfectly!
